ACTION Transport Theatre is looking for actors aged 17 and above who are keen to perform in four new plays as part of the Chester Literature Festival in October.

They will be working with professional theatre directors and youth theatre members.

The four plays are all being written by up and coming North West writers Jo Bell, Janine Atkin, Rob Ward and Maisie Linford.

The group is on the lookout for:

A young female from Afghanistan, aged 18 or 19.

A young male from Afghanistan aged 18 or 19.

A male in his mid to late 20s to play an upper class soldier.

A female in her mid to late 20s to play a feisty and headstrong mountaineer.

A female in her 30s to play a mother in a dynamic family drama.

Rehearsals are taking place between now and October in Ellesmere Port. Performances are in Whitby Hall Studio Theatre on Saturday and Sunday, October 16 and 17, and at the Forum, Chester, on Saturday and Sunday, October 23 and 24.

Rehearsals are tomorrow (Thursday) from 1-5pm, Friday from 10am-5pm and Saturday, 10am-5pm, where anyone interested can attend. The roles are voluntary positions.
